Question:Q:How to unpaid iPad from iphone

i recently got an iphone 8. It somehow paired itself with an older gen iPad mini and I would like to stop it. I don't want pics shared between both devices and I don't like getting phone messages and calls on my my iPad. How I do stop this?

If you are using the same AppleID on both then that is standard behavior. iCloud puts everything on all devices with that ID. You can disable certain features for iCloud in settings but I don't know if you'll still be able to get messages if you do that. The other thing would be to make a separate AppleID for one device but that can create problems with things such as purchases since each ID is seen as a different person.
